The doors? Sure, Morrison was a semi-delusional prick, but he could write. Their music really kind of tied together the whole vibe of the period, and did so in a heavy and memorable way.

Kind of a stupid question though. You could go in the direction of "most influencial" and paint buddy holly or chuck b or Valens or any of the early risers as the "greatest". They did heavily influence the early british invasion and the later rising of other english groups. After all, rock is originally an American product.
